An investigation of preservice mathematics teachers' teaching processes about "procedural and conceptual knowledge" related to division with fractions

Öz:
In this study, the changes in the behaviors of elementary mathematics teacher candidatestowards teaching “Procedural and Conceptual Knowledge” related to division with fractions wereinvestigated during a three-tier teaching experiment. Six preservice teachers participated in the study.In addition, in the first cycle, 26 students participated in the study, and 26 students participated in thesecond cycle. The data of the study consists of camera recordings, interviews, lesson plans prepared bypreservice teachers and pictures of student notebooks. Themes, categories, and some criteria weregenerated from the data. The presentation of the findings was supported by the data collected from thesevarious sources, and the triangulation method was used to validate findings. As a result of the study, weobserved a decrement in the amount of time that preservice teachers used for rule based teaching andan increment in the amount of time for teaching meaningful mathematics.
